6 FAQs about [Capacitance and withstand voltage of electrolytic capacitors]

Why do electrolytic capacitors have a high capacitance?

Because of their very thin dielectric oxide layer and enlarged anode surface, electrolytic capacitors have a much higher capacitance - voltage (CV) product per unit volume than ceramic capacitors or film capacitors, and so can have large capacitance values.

Do electrolytic capacitors have a specific capacitance?

One can understand that the electrolytic capacitors has a specific capacitance that is significantly greater than all the other capacitors. An electrolytic capacitor is a polarized capacitor whose anode is a positive plate where an oxide layer is formed through electrochemical principles that limit the use of reverse voltage.

Are aluminum electrolytic capacitors a good choice?

One of the major axes of research on electrolytic capacitors is the aluminum electrolytic capacitor (AEC). They have higher volume efficiency due to a significantly lower minimum dielectric thickness than all the other capacitors.

What is the impedance magnitude of an electrolytic capacitor?

In data sheets of electrolytic capacitors only the impedance magnitude |Z| is specified, and simply written as "Z". Regarding the IEC/EN 60384-1 standard, the impedance values of electrolytic capacitors are measured and specified at 10 kHz or 100 kHz depending on the capacitance and voltage of the capacitor.

What are the tolerances for electrolytic capacitors?

Electrolytic capacitors are available in different tolerance series, whose values are specified in the E series specified in IEC 60063. For abbreviated marking in tight spaces, a letter code for each tolerance is specified in IEC 60062. The required capacitance tolerance is determined by the particular application.

What are the different sizes of electrolytic capacitors?

There are different sizes of capacitor ranging from 3 mm in diameter for 5 mm in height up to 90 mm for 210 mm . Now, AEC became the model for all modern electrolytic capacitors due to their range of voltage ratings and capacitances. This advantage is useful in power supply filters where they are the most common component .
